Southern Cal's opponents Hawaii - vs. Alabama & Boise State Arizona State - vs. Arizona Stanford - Notre Dame Notre Dame - Stanford, Cuse Arizona - Arizona State Dec 6: Oregon State 3:30pm So we're fans of the following teams: Alabama--Helps our SOS and hurts USC's. Boise State Arizona--Wildcat win helps both teams' SOS but ASU loss hurts USC's Notre Dame over Stanford/Syracuse over Notre Dame-Notre Dame loss hurts USC's SOS straight up, Notre Dame over Stanford will count as an opponents' opponent's loss for USC several times. I'll leave LSU's opponents and both teams' opponents' opponents to someone else.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?page=/bcsroad/1123 Check the games to watch halfway down.....I liked it much better when you could just look to see who was ahead of you and if they lost you move up. This BCS thing is a nightmare. The first list is easy to figure out. But opponent's opponents games? Jeez
As far as opponents are concerned, Alabama is our best friend and should, one would think, beat Hawaii, a decent (7-4) WAC team. That helps our SOS, hurts USC's, and has a slight impact on the Anderson poll which factors in conference vs. non-conference record. Arizona over Az State is another to watch. Gosh, this thing will be razor close if we win out.
